It's the Magnet Theater Podcast's ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY (!!!) and to celebrate, we've got Magnet alumnus George Basil on the show. George stopped by while he was in town for the theater's 10th Anniversary and talked to host Louis Kornfeld about getting into improv, Michael Keaton, and the art of living. These two friends who met in the Magnet's first Level 2 improv class fill this episode with artistic philosophies, discussing nonlinear skill progression, rallying against the monetization of art, and how that which inhibits us also enables us to be great. Plus, find out the artisan job George took when first moving to NYC and where that scar came from. This is a feel-good episode if there every was one and we can't imagine a better way to celebrate our one year anniversary than with an old friend. Check it out!

Link: Woody Fu's "People I Have Met Through Magnet" Album
It's no secret that taking improv classes at The Magnet Theater is a great way to branch out, try something new and meet fun and interesting people. Recently Woody Fu, a student and now the most recent addition to the Musical Improv Team, The Sound and the Fury, started to draw everyone he has met through taking classes and performing at The Magnet Theater. The result is incredibly cool, check it out:
The whole album can be viewed by clicking on the title link above. There are 100+ drawings and it's been growing larger everyday. Great job! Woody also does comics at http://www.peroxidecomics.com.

not very informative
When we arrived we were given a room key (one between 3 guests) and told which floor to go to.
That was all the information that we were given during our whole stay. We were not advised as to what time breakfast ended - and missed it by 1 minute. They offered us tea and toast. The room was clean and comfortable. There were plenty of towels. I have certainly stayed in worse places.

Affordable and comfortable.
Enjoyed our night at Adelphi House.
It seemed a bit unusual that guests had to leave the keys at the reception but there was always someone in reception to let guests in so it worked out well. It would also have been nice to have two bath towels rather than the one provided in the double room.
Read More Less
Not as expected
Although the Aldelphi was clean the room was small single glazed and extremely noisy throughout the nights.
This was probably due to the single glazing windows. We had to ask for towels twice, there were no tea making facilities
Breakfast was exceedingly basic with not even an option of white or borwn bread. For the money it was dissappointing, but functional if you can survie with no sleep for three nights!

Great fun, the Adelphi was ideal, great position and no problems with coming back late 10 out of 10,
Very friendly place will definitely be back!

Kohl Is an Iron Man, but the Price Is High
By ALAN COWELL
Published: October 30, 1996
LEIPZIG, Germany— Helmut Kohl, who presided triumphantly over Germany's reunification in 1990, is about to become his country's longest serving Chancellor since Bismarck, who first fused the land 125 years ago.
On Oct. 31, Mr. Kohl is to set the record as postwar Germany's most durable leader, surpassing Konrad Adenauer's 14 years from 1949 to 1963, when Germany was rebuilt from the ruins of war into a European powerhouse. But even at this moment of tribute, his longevity is beginning to exact a price.
A central gamble of Mr. Kohl's 14 years in office -- his decision to cushion the pain of reunification with unparalleled financial largess -- has produced at best mixed results from the staggering $600 billion in subsidies, incentives and aid that has poured into the former East Germany in the last six years.
The spending proved politically expedient for Mr. Kohl's electoral fortunes, but many economic analysts now say it was half-baked, tying Bonn to years of taxes and budget commitments that conflict increasingly with his defining vision of European unity forged in fiscal restraint.
Mr. Kohl himself disarmingly acknowledged at his Christian Democratic party congress in Hanover this month that adding up the sums is not his strongest suit. But in a speech earlier to mark the sixth anniversary of reunification, even he finally admitted that fusing the two Germanys would take much longer than the five years in which, he once predicted, eastern Germany would become a place of ''blossoming landscapes.''
''The picture that Mr. Kohl painted in 1990 was too colorful, and was not based on facts and figures,'' said Christian Jacke, Leipzig's Economics Director. ''The five years have gone, and people are asking: where are these beautiful landscapes?''
The approach of the 66-year-old Mr. Kohl's record-setting anniversary has inspired much musing about precisely how a provincial politician beloved of solid food, labored jollity and postponed decisions took his place among Germany's titans.
Mr. Kohl has not publicly discussed his political longevity in great detail, and he declined to be interviewed for this article. Those who chart his success, including even his adversaries in eastern Germany, point to his political prowess, a weak opposition and Germans' general satisfaction with the stability that has followed the fall of Communism.
''There's a conservative way of thinking,'' said Lothar Tippach, the leader in Leipzig of the Democratic Socialist Party, the successor to the East German Communists. ''So the people say: We want stability, peace, no huge changes. We've had enough huge changes here already.''
But when they contemplate the fruits of reunification, many Germans still find it hard to look beyond a curtain of increasing bitterness between easterners, who tend to see westerners as exploiters, and westerners, who regard the east as an unworthy sinkhole for their tax money.
Up to 35 percent of eastern Germans in towns like Dessau, 40 miles north of here, are without real work. Eastern German productivity is only half of the western level. Most worrying of all, a culture has taken root that puts subsidies from Bonn at the center of political and economic life.
''Without subsidies and incentives, there'd be no investment at all,'' said Hans-George Otto, the Mayor of Dessau.
In 1990, Mr. Kohl acted with uncharacteristic boldness to reunify his country, welding the two uneven sides of Germany with his decision to swap worthless East German marks for rock-solid Deutsche marks at a rate of one to one.
Overnight, eastern Germans living for three generations under dictatorship -- first Hitler's, then the Communists' -- were propelled into a competitive western society that few could absorb.
Politically, the decision was seen as inevitable and adroit. Indeed, such was the eastern German clamor for the coveted currency that Mr. Kohl saw no other options. But economists shuddered at the implications of long-term commitment to an eastern economy distorted by huge injections of money that it could not earn.
For all the advances that have been made in roads, telephones, wages and prosperity in eastern Germany, a visitor's primary impression is of landscapes blossoming with construction cranes -- emblems of a building industry that has peaked -- and of contradictions.
True, wage levels in the east have risen to 75 percent of those in the west. And eastern Germans are slowly beginning to produce and buy their own goods instead of importing virtually everything from the west.
But as Government leaders in Bonn have begun to acknowledge, Government spending in the east will continue for years to come in business subsidies, early retirement pensions and unemployment benefits -- precisely the outlays that Mr. Kohl wants to reduce in preparation for a single European currency, a major step toward his all-consuming dream of European unity.
And for the foreseeable future, the German taxpayer will continue to foot an unwelcome bill. Just this month the Bonn Government faced the embarrassment of postponing yet again a promised reduction in the hated 7.5 percent income tax surcharge that finances eastern development -- the exact opposite of the painless transition that Mr. Kohl once promised.
Some specialists make a telling comparison with those Central European economies with which East Germany was once inextricably linked in the Comecon trade bloc.
There, in countries like Poland and the Czech Republic, Mr. Jacke said, ''they have lower living standards, lower labor costs, lower standards of social services.''
''But they have built step by step and they have built by themselves,'' he added, ''which is not something that's happened in eastern Germany.''
''We have to ask whether the way we did things makes people move forward,'' he said, referring to the huge amounts of Government support. ''That's really the question: why should people move?''
Between them, Jorg Hofmann and Ursula Finke provide some answers to that question.

New Antony and the Johnsons Album Coming To Bring Beautiful Gender-Bending Tunes To All!
(This preview has been approved for all audiences.)
In 2005, Antony and the Johnsons released I Am A Bird Now (TMT Review), one of the most crushing epics to come out of the new millennium.
And now, in 2009, Antony and the Johnsons are bringing you their full-length follow-up, The Crying Light.
Following the Mercury Prize-winning Bird, Antony is set to please audiences once again. Critics agree: Antony and the Johnsons have something special going here. The Los Angeles Times reports, "Before the rapt audiences eyes (and within our delighted ears), Antony had become an unnamed creature in a freshly born world"; while the UK Guardian muses, "This latest reinvention means his own legend is assured."
Antony and his beloved Johnsons are expected to dive deeper than ever before, exploring relationships with the natural world, featuring arrangements by avant-classical composer Nico Muhly. Listeners will laugh, cry, and be moved (presumably) to songs like "Her Eyes Are Underneath the Ground," bringing us a world of winking leaves where the sun "dances crystals in my eyes." Share in Antony's joy in "Kiss My Name." And be shocked and awed by the album centerpiece "Another World," where Antony will lead audiences into the despair of a vanishing landscape.
Hear the album that has critics rejoicing:
"Antony has moved on to a transformed sound still more beautiful. Joining him in the shadows was breathtaking." – Evening Standard
"This isn't a heart breaking; it's a heart waking..." - The Oregonian
Coming to ears near you, January 20, 2009.

Marnie Stern Sets Up Kissing Booth; Indie Boners Popping Up Everywhere
1. Marnie Stern is hot.
2. Marnie Stern is really good at guitar.
3. Marnie Stern can play a double-necked guitar.
4. Marnie Stern will make out with you.
Yes. That's right. Marnie Stern is going to kiss you. All you have to do is hit up Los Angeles' El Ray Theatre tomorrow night. In addition to melting your face with her playing, Stern will kiss you on the cheek for $3, kiss you on the lips for $10, or give it to you Full-On Tongue Style™ for one hundred smackers. Good deal!
Stern's kissing booth is also occurring at tonight's show at San Francisco's Bimbo's 365 Club, but it's probably too late if you're reading this. In fact, as I write this, Marnie Stern is probably French-kissing somebody who isn't you.
What an awesome PR move... I'm now going to list her tourdates. Marnie, you're so smart!
Mario Speedwagon's Under The Radar News Roundup: Wierd Records, Mark Kozelek, Napster, TorrentValley.com, and Thrill Jockey
This week we have anniversary parties, websites shutin' it down, old dudes releasing solo records, Thrill Jockey signing another band who met in art school, and more!
- Wierd Records in New York is turning five years old. To celebrate, it's having an anniversary shindig at the Music Hall of Williamsburg November 21, 2008, featuring Blacklist, Xeno & Oaklander (I kind of wish it was Xenu, like that Scientologist bullshit,) and Led Er Est. Doors are at 8:30, jams start at 9:30, and it's $10.
- Mark Kozelek of Sun Kil Moon and the Red House Painters is dropping his latest LP, The Finally LP, December 9, 2008 on Caldo Verde Records. Party.
- So, I totally forgot Napster existed, let alone that people still use it (same as Friendster... really?) Anyway, Miram Hall Patel -- the chick who ruled that peer-to-peer music sharing services "knowingly encorage[ed] and assist[ed]" the swapping of copyrighted music, therefore "destroying" the music industry -- decided we need to reform the policies of copyright licensing, royalties, and other shit by forming some music-industry-cheese-dick administration comprised of people with "competing interest" to set up new rules. Napster, really?
- TorrentValley.com has been "raided and shut down," as reported by TorrentFreak. Oh well.
- Thrill Jockey continues to tear it up by signing Mountains. Mountains is a duo from Brooklyn-by-way-of-Chicago Art School and has been compared to "Brian Eno and Fennesz" (cool!) The group is preparing its third LP for a Thrill Jockey release of February 17, 2009.
Alright, I'm out, bitches.
Coming To A Grocery Store Near You: Barack Obama's Martian Origins Exposed; What Your Man Really Wants In Bed; and… Bob Dylan In Conveniently-Sized Gift Card Form?
Think about this: when did In Rainbows come out? You wanna say "It was like six months ago," right? Because all anyone still talks about is how the distribution method was supposedly fucking genius, right? Or maybe you never got sucked into the cesspool of exalting Thom Yorke for remembering that the internet exists, and you knew right after I asked that the album came out in 2007. Either way, we can all agree that everyone needs to get over the fact that technology affords us a shit-ton of ways to get music.
Apparently, however, Sony BMG isn't on board with us. It basically goes like this: one day, one of those gift cards at a Safeway checkout stand got really fucked up and, feeling overconfident, managed to pick up a sexy iPod with inexplicably low self-esteem. Nine months later, she called him and said he was going to be a daddy. Their child's name: Platinum MusicPass. Cute, huh? Unfortunately neither of them could afford a kid and decided to sell it to Sony BMG, which cloned it and is now distributing lots of Sony MusicPasses all over the Southeastern U.S. in Winn-Dixie supermarkets. $12.99 gets you a pass for a full-album download of high-quality MP3s (but are they FLAC rips?) plus bonus material in some instances. Highlights include Korn, Avril Lavigne, the previously mentioned Mr. Zimmerman, and a selection of decades-themed compilations.
Great job, Sony-BMG, you're definitely not adding an unnecessary intermediary step between MP3 and consumer. And I'm pretty sure people are going to care about this one more than they did about Radiohead!
Bonnie "Prince" Billy to Release Beware, His "Most Ambitious" LP to Date
Hey, girls, you can stop making food in the kitchen and washing clothes now -- boys, stop playing with your nuts: Bonnie "Prince" Billy is back on the attack! On March 17, Drag City will release a brand new album, Beware, which is being described as his "most ambitious" by his publicist. In fact, the press release is all kinds of colorful:

It's hard to tell exactly what El Guincho (a.k.a. Pablo Díaz-Reixa) has up his sleeves for his tour this month, but after writing him countless letters expressing my sadness over his canceled dates this past summer (one of which I was planning on attending!), the man has finally written me back:
Dear Anna,
Thank you for your genuine concern for my well=being. I can assure you that I will not cancel any more dates, especially since those threats you made against me sound pretty painful. Please know that I've hired of Montreal's costume and set designer for my November tour and plan on using his ideas to my full advantage.
See you at the show,
In other less life-threatening news, El Guincho's newest album, Alegranza!, finally received a worldwide release last month via Young Turks/XL Recordings.
Musician and Drum-Maker Dies After Contracting Anthrax from Animal Skins
File under bizarre and tragic: a Hackney, England drum-maker man has died following the inhalation of anthrax spores after handling animal skins. Fernando Gomez, a 35-year-old Spanish folk musician, died in Homerton University Hospital November 2, surrounded by his wife and family.
While this story is a rare one, it is not the first instance of a drum-maker dying of anthrax spore inhalation. In 2006, Christopher Norris, an artist and drum-maker from Scotland, died after inhaling anthrax from touching West African animal skins at a drumming workshop. Since 1974, there have been only four known cases worldwide of drum-makers dying from anthrax apart from Gomez and Norris. While many drum skins are created using man-made materials, other traditional drums like djembes and bodhrans will always use the skin of cows, goat, and deer. Some drum-makers prefer the more exotic skins of bison, yak, and llamas.
Anthrax cannot be passed between persons, and Health Protection Agency (HPA) officers have sealed Gomez' apartment and workshop for testing and cleansing. Eight other people who had been in the room where the spores were inhaled have been given precautionary antibiotics, but are not thought to be in danger of contracting anthrax, nor are the nearby neighbors of Gomez' east London flat. Professor Nigel Lightfoot, chief advisor to the HPA, said in a statement, "We have stressed to all residents throughout this incident that there is no risk to their health as a result of the case of anthrax, or the testing."
Lightfoot added, and in turn, eased the high-strung nature of skin-thumpers throughout our world, "It is important to stress that it is the making of the animal skin drums that is the risk from coming into contact with anthrax rather than playing or handling drums."
An inquest has been opened to determine the source of the spores and the HPA began carrying out tests in Gomez' apartment this week. Gomez taught music to local children on the Morningside Estate in Hackney and was a member of an alternative folk group called alasVALS.
Ohmygod You Guys! Cutie Chad VanGaalen Just Announced Tourdates!
Seriously, guys, how cute is Chad VanGaalen?! He's like Zac Efron mixed with the older Jonas Brother, plus sort of like Penn Badgley from Gossip Girl! And hey, did you know he's touring this fall!? It's in Europe, but maybe if you ask your parents for an early Christmas present, and I ask my parents for an early present too, we can both get plane tickets and go! I've been listening to his newest album, Soft Airplane (TMT Review), soooo much that the other day my little brother walked by my room and was like "Ew, you're still listening to Chad VanGAYlen?!" And I was like "SHUT THE FUCK UP, I LOVE HIM! Re-open Proposition 8 for California!" For realz.

Ticketmaster To Drop Service Charges; The Economic Collapse Pretty Much Rocks
I am LOVING this economic collapse. I mean, I don't want to rejoice over the pain and suffering of millions of Americans, because that would be horrible, but in all honesty, it's brought us a lot of good: My mother just called me yesterday to tell me she paid under $2 per gallon of gas for the first time in forever; Barack Obama and his jolly gang of socialist/terrorist pals defeated the evil Sarah Palin and her 400-year-old, out-of-touch running mate; and, most importantly, everybody's favorite super-evil-behemoth-man-got-you-down-corporate-ripoff-machine Ticketmaster is doing away with service charges! Rejoice! Collapse!
Okay, it's not totally doing away with the charges. According to new CEO Irving Azoff, Ticketmaster is "experimenting" with dropping convenience charges at certain events. Still, it's progress. Ticketmaster is pretty famous with the plebes for tacking on all kinds of ridiculous surcharges and fees on top of every ticket sold. For years now, your $88.50 Bruce Springsteen ticket has magically jumped to $105, mainly because Ticketmaster is chock full of greedy bastards. The crazy thing is Ticketmaster KNEW everyone thought that, yet it CONTINUED with its crappy policies. But now, everything has collapsed. People can't afford to pay an arm and a leg to see Neil Young, and if nobody buys tickets, that's bad for Ticketmaster's bottom line.
Just remember, it is not that Ticketmaster has suddenly decided that it wanted to be nice, it's just that its stocks are down. And if the stocks are down, investors are unhappy. And then even Ticketmaster is sad. And we don't want that, do we?
_Oxford Collapse's_ Tour Is Beginning _today_, And It's Going to be _immense_!

That was a necessary technology before we could do anything. It has been adopted by thousands of users already as a standalone technology, but what we do is embed that technology inside OpenCL compilers so that now it can be utilised in full software mode and it is fully compatible with OpenCL."

The United States offers protections to individuals who have suffered persecution, or fear that they will suffer persecution, due to their race, religion, national origin, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
The majority of women migrate to reunite with family, make a better life for their children, or escape violence that in their home countries. But our current laws make it harder for these women to come legally, and harder to become citizens when they do get here. So what do women need in real immigration overhaul?
One of National PTA's founding principles is to advocate for children and families who are most vulnerable. In the heated debate about immigration, we raise our voice for the estimated 4 million K-12 students in the United States who have at least one parent with the potential of being deported.
The Land of Mass Expulsions is an Ancient Wonderland attracting over the ages visitors from all corners of the globe. Notable guests have included despots, freedom fighters, world leaders, religious bodies, and terrorists to name a few.
Trump's slogan of "Make America Great Again" is really a cover for "Make America White Again." Hate and prejudice is built on ignorance and fear and no one has helped create that more than the media and Donald Trump.
Presidential candidate Donald Trump and several of his Republican competitors have now endorsed the notion of doing away with the very first sentence of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
I challenge you, Mr. Trump, that if the U.S. were a corporation that you owned, before you would spend your own money on building the wall, tripling the number of ICE officers, expanding e-verify and expelling 11 million residents (a risky task) -- you would leave no stone unturned in a search for a policy solution that would achieve the same goal without all the expense and hassle.
No American citizen should be subjected to the treatment that George Khoury and Habib Joudeh received when they arrived at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel last month.
The one thing all parents share is the desire to protect their kids. Although the legalization and regulation of all drugs may seem counterintuitive to that desire, repealing prohibition will keep our communities safer. Legalization reduces the profit margins of illicit products and disincentivizes the time, money, and violence necessary to traffic drugs.

Detention has been widely decried by human-rights advocates for its prison-like conditions and the too-frequent abuses that are visited upon the detained. But the truly horrifying aspect of this system is how it's being used and expanded to detain the mothers and children who have sought asylum in the United States.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson testified before Congress last week about his proposed three billion dollar increase to DHS funding for the next fiscal year.
Enter Scott Walker's politics of fear. For the party that rhetorically champions self-reliance, the emphasis on creating fear and despair in the electorate is ironic, but effective. Why blame yourself for economic insecurity when you can blame a faceless immigrant plotting to take away your job?
Crapser's case, and the hardship faced by international adoptees because of youthful offenses, is bringing worldwide attention once again to the U.S. international adoption program.
Maybe next year in Jerusalem, the government will start treating the African asylum seekers as human beings, as working taxpayers, as asylum seekers, as free people, and not as infiltrators. Let's pray for that at the seder table.
The last time I wrote about this issue, about the deportation of adopted people who were born in other countries after committing crimes in the U.S., was over two years ago. I said then, and I repeat in light of this new case today, that criminals should absolutely be punished -- but sending them to a place where they know no one and don't speak the native language is simply appalling.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
Saudi, Iran and the 'war' over the Hajj stampede
26 Aug 2013 12:52 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, France, Russia
The United States would face failure if it attacked Syria, President Bashar al-Assad has said in an interview with a Russian newspaper.
Assad told pro-Kremlin daily Izvestia that Syria would never be a "puppet" of the West and warned the US against attacking his country.
Live Box 2012108933861442
In his remarks that appeared in the newspaper on Monday, he said Washington has never succeeded in reaching its political aims through war, arguing that US' previous military campaigns in recent years had always fallen short of their goals.
"The US faces failure just like in all the previous wars they waged, starting with Vietnam and up to our days," he said.
"America has taken part in many wars but could not once achieve its political goals for which the wars were started. Yes, it is true, the great powers can wage wars but can they win them?" he asked.
The alleged chemical weapons attack in a Damascus suburb last Wednesday has spurred calls for global action against the Syrian regime, putting pressure on US President Barack Obama, who has defined use of chemical weapons in the country as "red lines".
In the interview, Assad also described Western claims that his regime used chemical weapons in Syria as "insult to common sense".
Assad accused the US of first making the accusations that his regime used chemical weapons in an attack outside Damascus which activists say killed hundreds, and only later starting to look for proof.
He said the army frontline in the area where the incident took place was not clear and the Syrian regime would have risked killing its own forces if it used chemical weapons. "This contradicts elementary logic," Assad said.
"Such accusations are completely political and the reason for them is a number of victories by the government forces against the terrorists."
The alleged chemical weapons attack in Ghouta last Wednesday killed 355 people, according to the aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres.
Western powers and rebels have blamed the Syrian government for the incident, while Damascus claims the opposition carried out the attack.
A UN expert team has been given access to the site of the alleged attack and is expected to begin investigations into the claims on Monday.
'Independent state'
With calls mounting for military action against Syria, Assad warned Western states to stop interfering in the affairs of other countries and instead "listen to the opinion of the people".
Assad said: "If someone is dreaming of making Syria a puppet of the West, then this will not happen. We are an independent state, we will fight against terrorism and we will build relations with whom we want for the good of the Syrian people."
As the opposition Syrian National Council called on major powers to intervene in Syria, Obama on Saturday met senior security officials to consider US options on how to respond to the crisis.
The US boosted its naval presence in the region, a move which the US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Sunday gave the president greater flexibility.
France's foreign minister said on Monday no decision had been made yet on whether to take military action in response to the reported poison gas attack in Syria, but that all options were on the table.
"The decision has not been taken," Laurent Fabius told Europe 1 radio. "There has to be a proportional reaction ... and that will be decided in the coming days."
Ankara to 'join' coalition against Syria
Turkey would join any international coalition against Syria even if a wider consensus on action cannot be reached at the United Nations Security Council, Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkey's foreign minister, was quoted as saying on Monday.
Ankara, a former ally of Assad, has been a staunch supporter of the Syrian opposition in the two-and-a-half-year-old conflict.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
"We always prioritise acting together with the international community, with UN decisions. If such a decision doesn't emerge, other alternatives ... would come onto the agenda. Currently 36-37 countries are discussing these alternatives. If a coalition is formed against Syria in this process, Turkey would take its place in this coalition," Davutoglu told the Milliyet daily.
Meanwhile Russia has continued expressing its concern over a possible US military action on Syria.
Referring to a telephone conversation between Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, and John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, on Sunday, the Russian foreign ministry said that Moscow urged Washington to refrain from falling for "provocations".
"The minister [Lavrov] stressed that the official announcements from Washington in recent days about the readiness of US armed forces to 'intervene' in the Syrian conflict have been received in Moscow with deep concern," the ministry said in a statement.

In the early 2000s, I was vice president of marketing and PR for two publicly traded companies.
Back in the day, I spent millions of my companies' dollars and thousands of hours of my teams' time trying to get mainstream media to pay attention to us.
This was pre-social networking, pre-YouTube, pre-easy blogging. While we had a fledgling content strategy using an email newsletter, information rich site, and direct to consumer news releases, we didn't have today's real-time communications tools so we primarily generated attention using the old rules of public relations: Press releases and pitching journalists.
A decade ago we measured by how thick the spiral bound PR clip book was. This isn't the best approach today, yet many organizations are still working based on the old rules.Read More

Anti Gravity - OrlandoRead MoreWhat began in 1990 as the gymnastics and dance company of competitive athlete and Broadway dancer Christopher Harrison has evolved into something of a worldwide phenomenon. AntiGravity NTF's staff members are some of the same athletes and acrobats who soar over audiences with the AntiGravity theater group, and who appear in high-profile celebrity musical acts and Hollywood productions. Current director Daniel Stover's work, for example, was featured in the 2012 movie Step Up Revolution, for which he choreographed a scene in which AntiGravity NTF dancer-athletes vertically scale a wall using bungee cords. These performers practice and share their knowledge of the aerial arts in an impressive facility, which boasts equipment that is the stuff of sports performers' dreams. It includes a wall-running track suspended 40 feet in midair, which allows athletes to scale the walls, do flips, and easily dust away ceiling cobwebs. The trampoline staircase puts extra pep in climbers' steps, as do custom-enhanced AntiGravity boots that act as jumping stilts and gravity-defying silk hammocks, specialty harnesses, and an aerial cube. In the dance and gymnastics studio, students bounce on competition-style mats and flooring, whereas an outdoor conditioning field helps boot campers get fit, and a pole-dance fitness studio invites people to strut their sultry stuff.5390 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy.Kissimmee, FL US

We've taken up part-time residence in Manhattan and discovered that our downstairs neighbor is Tobin Ludwig, one of the partners in Hella Bitters. We were having cocktails in his apartment when he passed around some exquisite cantaloupe. In season, it was juicy and sweet; chewing, Tobin said, "This would go great in a cocktail." And the challenge was on. He would follow the local and seasonal in creating an elegant summer cocktail using cantaloupe and the basil that is in full flourish, infusing reposado tequila, made from the highly vegetal cactus plant, with this herbaceous leaf. "Basil is a great cocktail ingredient," Tobin says, "because it's so versatile. It can go savory or sweet." To infuse spirits with herbs, combine torn leaves with the spirit of your choice for 48 hours and strain. For basil Read On »

Taking up part-time residence in New York City last month, I was delighted to meet a downstairs neighbor, Tobin Ludwig, who makes the lovely Hella Bitters. What good karma for our new old building! "What is your favorite use of bitters?" I asked. For someone who makes bitters, he struggled. I pushed. He relented and said, "A rum old fashioned." What a splendid idea, I thought. Last night a tweet asked me for a cocktail with a good rum. And so there it was. The rum old-fashioned called. The weather has cooled, I have some most excellent rum, and the sweetness and the bitters combine for a great summer rum cocktail. But lo—there was more, karma-wise. I returned to my original old-fashioned post and noticed that I'd used Hella bitters, long before I'd met Tobin! Read On »
Introducing the first of a new series of cooking videos on technique, though admittedly this one focuses on an actual Le Creuset piece, the cocotte. I love these little dishes. They're great to cook in and great to serve in. I'm dying to do a little snail potpie in them. In this video, though, I'm cooking my favorite ingredient, the egg. How many ways can this little miracle of nutrition and economy be brought to ethereal heights of soul-satisfying deliciousness? Enough to fill a book or ten (wait for mine, coming in April). Here, I'm going with perhaps the easiest way of all to cook an egg, baked in an enclosed vessel. There are three different terms applied to eggs cooked in an oven. The second, after baked, is coddled: covered and baked in a Read On »
We are now in the full throes of summer, and there is no better cocktail to conclude a summer's day than a gin and tonic. It is simplicity itself. It can be made extra-special if you use an excellent gin and, more importantly, an excellent tonic. But an inexpensive gin and some diet Schweppes will do the trick if that and a lime is all you have or want. This is a seasonal drink. The bitter and bubbles refresh, the gin eases, and the citrus brightens. I like to use both lime and lemon, because lemon makes just about anything better and the bright color makes the glass more inviting. If you want to simply enjoy a cooling cocktail at the end of a hot day, then I encourage economy over quality. But if you Read On »
I was about 24 hours into my vegan experiment, planning to prepare pasta with asparagus and olive oil. In Ruhlman's Twenty, I write about what a felicitous pairing scallops and asparagus are and make a sauce by pureeing the stems and mounting the puree with butter, serving the reheated tips as garnish. Finding myself with a good bunch of asparagus, I thought, "I'll bet pureed asparagus makes an excellent sauce for pasta. But still it's going to need a little oomph. Hmmm. Perhaps some freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Oops, not strictly vegan. But maybe just a few shaving, it'll taste sooo much better." I was hungry, and the dish needed a little extra something, which in so many instances is solved simply by adding an egg. Oh hell, why not mount a good deal of butter into Read On »

De Nieuwe Anita is cosy little bar in the west. A bar like a living room in the front area. Very vintage, very second hand. Grandmothers lampshades. The back area features a basement hall, good for concerts and dance nights – low key, very accessible.
On Mondays De Nieuwe Anita houses a hand selected film program, called "Cinemanita" (entry € 3) far from the mainstream.
Tuesday nights there is live music behind the bar, the event is called "De Witte Geit" it's a real recommendation, a diverse presentation of mostly alternative styles, from jazz to pop to electro, something for every taste, if you are a bit into the diverse and alternative. I am very sorry to have forgotten my camera last Tuesday – famous old star John Watts performed behind the bar. Imagine this charismatic guy who used to play in front of 30,000 people at Pink Pop in this private setting. A gem of a day.
Every style that's individual, alternative, inspiring, funny, cool, creative has a home and a stage here. And there's a new treat: Food! – but for that you'll have to wait until September since the cooks are on vacation right now ;).
All in all it's the personal atmosphere I like about the Anita. Personal talks, personal entertainment. Always welcoming.
